17. This QD is almost exactly on resonance with the cavity at low temperature, so by heating the sample and increasing the QD emission wavelength, one also increases the detuning from the cavity resonance and the radiative lifetime. The opposite process is observed if the QD emission wavelength is initially smaller than the cavity resonance. In addition to a good correspondence between the cavity resonance linewidth and the Lorentzian linewidth, these processes indicate that the cavity QED has a dominant effect on the radiative lifetime.
